What Our Customer Say
“The Shenzhen electronics tour helped us quickly validate suppliers we had only researched online. We collected key module samples at Huaqiangbei and met PCB/SMT factories able to support rapid prototypes and 100–500-unit pilot runs.
TourPal’s QC specialist guided us through testing processes and prepared a practical QC checklist, which clarified how we should structure our first trial order. ”
David Miller — Founder, IoT Hardware Startup (USA)
“On the Foshan/Zhongshan tour, we saw full production lines—from CNC cutting to painting and assembly—and gained a better understanding of local quality and automation standards.
TourPal arranged targeted meetings with component suppliers and gave useful advice on packaging and shipping. We came away with three potential factories, initial quotations, and a plan to start a 200-unit sample batch.”
Anna Schmidt — Procurement Manager, Furniture Retailer (Germany)
“The Guangzhou/Shenzhen beauty OEM/ODM tour gave me a clear view of how a formula moves from R&D to small-batch production. Seeing the GMP filling line and stability testing process was especially helpful.
TourPal also evaluated packaging options and provided realistic cost ranges for trial production. I left with factory capability reports, regulatory guidance, and a clear roadmap for producing our first compliant batch.”
